PI is not infinite. An attempt to represent pi in a decimal notation will result in an infinite length representation. This is not “most likely”, it can be proven.

Plus, isn’t part of the basic definition of pi that it’s a ratio? If it’s a ratio between two finite things, how then could it be infinite?

 

[tafan2]

Yes, it’s the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle. Nothing infinite about the number (or any number) itself.

If pi isn’t possibly infinite what is the last digit you can prove?

Arguing from silence is a logical fallacy. Just because I can’t say what the last digit of pi is doesn’t mean that therefore pi is infinite. Your argument would be dismissed in mathematics. Not only that, but you’re the one claiming that pi is infinite. The burden of proof is on you, not me.

The immorality of abortion is not a purely religious belief. There are in fact Atheists who hold it to be wrong. Secular Pro-Life is one such example:

I hold abortion wrong. To fix, to me is education of girls and doctors.
Explaining the ease today of prevention, and the horror of an abortion,
when not a necessity to the health of a human, that is already alive, in the world. The bottom line has to be, your body belongs to you.

Artificial birth control isn’t the panacea modern society wants it to be. Either way, the Church is no more domineering than a doctor telling you that smoking is unhealthy and not what your lungs are meant for. The Church also does not say that sexual pleasure is bad nor sinful, but that sex for marriage, not outside of it. No matter how modern society wants to slice it though, sex is for procreation. That is the natural and biological purpose of sex. For all the “literature” of the world, modern society now wants nothing more than to be able to experience all the pleasure they want and ignore any of the consequences. Modern society wants to turn sex into something that it isn’t. That doesn’t sound very enlightened to me.

You are confusing pi, with an infinite string of digits which is used to aporoximate pi. Pi is a single number, how can it be infinite. A number can not be infinite? It is less than 4, is 4 infinite?

Is this off-topic? You brought it up, as something you don’t have evidence of. I suppose it does a adequate job of illustrating you lack of understanding of the concepts you seem to be randomly throwing out.

I think the claim is that the number of digits of pi is infinite. Which… irrational number, so…

So I thought that I should acknowledge a job well done.

Thanks! I appreciate it!

For example, I would submit that strictly speaking, the first cause can’t “ will ” anything into existence. It can’t be conscious and it can’t be intelligent.

I would agree that the First Cause can’t be ‘conscious’ or ‘intelligent’ in the way that humans are, since our consciousness and intelligence proceeds from our composite nature. God is simple, and therefore, any assertion of ‘consciousness’ or ‘intelligence’ would necessarily be of a different nature than ours.

Because to “ act ” in any sense, would require a cause for that action.

Couldn’t you posit God’s will as the cause? That is, He himself is the cause of his (eternal) act.

And nothing can cause the “ first ” cause to do anything, therefore what it does, is simply in accord with what it is, and cannot be any other way.

Fair enough. What God – the first cause – does, and which is in accord with who He is, is to love and create.

As a solipsist I have long maintained that three things can be known to exist, consciousness, context, and cause. Consciousness is that which perceives that “I am”. Context is that which defines what I am. And cause is that which gives rise to what I am. I submit that every conscious being must consist of these three things.

God perceives Himself. He, himself, is his own definition. He is His own cause. I’m not sure I’m seeing the problem here…

Why the fear of questioning the decisions of god?

Was Jesus recognized for what you say he was, when he was on earth?

Compare the size of the known universe to the size of an atom, and let me know how many digits of pi anybody even needs.

Why the fear of questioning the decisions of god?

Fear of the Lord isn’t terror, but rather awe. The fear of the Lord that chooses to accept the decisions of God comes from an appreciation of how far my perception, understanding and reasoning capacity falls short of infinity.

Was Jesus recognized for what you say he was, when he was on earth?

Well, yes, he was accused of being a blasphemer for making himself the equal of God.

There was always everything, including your God.

Whether this statement is true or absurd depends on how you define “everything.”

Important essay questions. three to start.

That’s a little presumptuous, but if anyone else cares to comply, that’s up to their pleasure.
You’ve pegged my fun meter.

Each answered without peeking at the other guy’s answers.
minimum 50 words to max 100 words.

A friend of mine was asked to describe his undergraduate research in 25 words or less. He said it could not be done justice within that limit, and he was right.
